Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title Adam Bede for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist. List of literary works with eponymous heroes List of literary works with eponymous heroines Pages that only exist as redirects: Men at Arms changes

This article includes an incomplete infobox, which is part of the standard display of novel information developed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels and also Wikipedia:WikiProject Books. You can help by filling in the missing or incorrect information yourself, or copying the "source code" into the attached article if you need it, and filling in the information yourself, or by providing the following information here on the Talk page so that someone else can construct the box:
	~title of novel~ ~cover image of novel fair use~ ~image caption to give edition details~ ~author of novel~ ~country of publication~ ~language of original novel~ ~illustrator for novel~ ~cover artist name for novel~ ~novel genre~ ~publisher for novel~ ~dd month yyyy~ Print (~binding~) ~pagecount pp (~binding~ edition)~ ~ISBN ~999999999~ (~hardcover~ edition)~ ~prior book in series if relevant~ ~subsequent book in series if relevant~

does anyone know how plots should be described? spoilers acceptable? mnemonic 01:20, 2004 Jun 29 (UTC)

Just throw a {{spoiler}} in front of the area with the spoilers. Also, obviously, try to group it so that all the non-spoiling material goes above the line. -- कुक्कुरोवाच|Talk‽ 03:11, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Reviews section aka "Criticisms"

first, does this completely POV item have any place in a Wikipedia article? given that none would argue about the appropriateness of an "interpretations" section, i'd think that a Reviews section would be acceptable. however i have a hard time imagining such material appearing in other comparable references (encyclopedias, text books etc.).

also, regarding the actual name of the section: right now it's titled "Criticisms" though that sounds too much like a section about attacking the various qualities of the book. I'm open to other heading suggestions, but "Reviews" doesn't fit right in my opinion. mnemonic 06:35, 2004 Jul 6 (UTC)

changed heading to "Reviews" for the sake of Wikiproject Novels conformance, though I may change this later. mnemonic 07:10, 2004 Jul 6 (UTC)

How about "Responses" or something comparably vague? -- कुक्कुरोवाच|Talk‽ 03:50, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
